I never had this problem with 3.4 but I can't seem to figure out what is causing it with 3.5. Basically sprites are visible until I go into the box where a model is. Then they disappear and the only way I can get them to come back is to close the map and reopen it. Any ideas? It's driving me nuts. Is there simply a way to refresh the hammer screen or something? I'm going to try reinstalling Hammer again, but I don't think it'll fix it this time either. =)

I went into the options and then 3d views and upped the model render distance to max. That has made it so that the sprites don't show up at all when I load a map (apparently its the seeing of a model in the 3d view that is causing the issue. Hmm, still lost...

No clues? Crep. Guess my mapping days are soon to end. This just sucks for working with sprites and models in the same map.

I'm sry but this is completly fubar. it makes no sense at all. have you treid re-installing your vid card drivers?

Yeah, nothing seems to help. Hrm...I'm getting close to considering a full format...but that is the not exciting option of the week. I have so much junk on here to go through if I do that. Gah...thanks anyhow. Anyone else got an idea?

I had this problem for a little while, then it just left me alone(without any change to drivers or any of that). Not that big of a deal to me. I just got used to it after a while...
